Can people with EMS safely get flu shots or pneumonia shots?
Of course, you should consult carefully with your own doctor, but most persons with EMS can safely get flu and pneumonia shots, and most probably should consider getting them unless there is a good reason not to get the shots – one would be allergy to eggs for the flu shot. However, many persons with EMS do not get the shots out of fear of side effects; others report getting the shots and having no problems other than the usual expected ones of soreness, etc. or maybe they feel “bad” for a short time – which could be due to the shot or coincidence or other factors. Again, talk to your doctor.
